Superintendent recommends labeling Listening Time fields "Required" in Robbinsdale school board process
Summary
At the May 5, 2025 Robbinsdale Area Schools study session, Superintendent Dr. Teri Staloch presented recommendations to require topic entries and facilitator script confirmations for Listening Time requests and to move Listening Time to the meeting "parking lot" until urgent information is shared.
At a Robbinsdale Area Schools study session on May 5, 2025, Superintendent Dr. Teri Staloch reviewed updated superintendent recommendations for the district's Listening Time procedures, asking the board to formalize several fields as mandatory. "Add "Required" to topic line of Listening Time Request Form," the minutes state as one of the specific recommendations read during the session.
Staloch also recommended adding "Required" to the facilitator script for Listening Time and to "Add Listening Time to parking lot, until urgent information has been shared," per the meeting minutes. The changes were presented as superintendent recommendations; the minutes do not record a board vote or final decision on adopting the edits.
The study-session summary notes that these recommendations were presented as follow-up items from the April 22, 2025 work session. The minutes identify the session's start time (9:23 p.m.) and the board members present. The record indicates further discussion or formal action on the Listening Time recommendations may be scheduled for the May 19, 2025 study session if the board chooses to take them up.
